Description[?]:
| Whereas many high school graduates know very little about Rutania's government and history. Whereas immigrants who pass the Rutanian citizenship test know more about Rutania's government and history than non-immigrants who graduate high school. Whereas fundamental knowledge of our government should be known to all citizens, whether or not born here. Be it therefore enacted by the Representatives of Rutania assembled, Section I: ECA (a) This Act should be known as the “Educational Citizenship Act” Section II: Citizenship Test Requirement (a) In high school, students may take the Rutanian Citizenship Test. (1) The procedure for students taking this test will match the procedure for immigrants taking this test. There will be one hundred questions, and during an interview a student will have to answer a random ten of them, and will pass if they answer six of the ten correctly. (2) All interviews must be video recorded for the purpose of validation that the tests were administered correctly. (A) The Secretary of Education or other related secretary is in charge of designating a committee to randomly evaluate the video recordings for possible flaws in the administration of the tests. (3) The Secretary of Homeland Security or other related secretary should produce a different version of the Rutanian Citizenship Test to be used for this purpose. (b) If a student passes the Rutanian Citizenship Test, they will be awarded with a reward of achievement that they can put on their resume. (c) Any person who shall have failed to pass the test may attempt to retake it no more than twice a year. No limit shall be placed on the number of repeated attempts. Section III: Implementation (a) This Act will go into effect 90 days after its accession into law. (b) This Act is severable. If any portion of this act is found to be unconstitutional, the remainder shall remain as law. |
